The petitioner claiming to be a sugarcane producer and supplier of the sugarcane to the second respondent Co-operative Sugar Mill has chosen to file this writ petition, questioning the order of the first respondent dated 20.10.2017, transferring four officers from NPKRR Cooperative Sugar Mills to the second respondent Sugar Mill on the ground that such transfer order followed by accommodation of these four officers in the second respondent Mill will spoil the interest of the second respondent sugar Mill, which according to the petitioner, is already running in loss.
2.First of all, this Court is not in a position to appreciate as to the locus standi of the petitioner to question a transfer order issued by the first respondent, transferring four officers from another Mill to the second respondent Sugar Mill. The petitioner is only a sugar cane producer and supplier to the second respondent Mill. If the petitioner is having any grievance against non payment of his dues by the second respondent sugar Mill, it is for the petitioner to work out his remedies in the manner known to law by initiating appropriate proceedings and on the other hand, filing the present writ petition and challenging the transfer order issued by the first respondent cannot be appreciated as a proper course of action to ventilate the grievance of the petitioner against the second respondent sugar Mill. The transfer order is an administrative order issued by the first respondent transferring the officers from one sugar Mill to another and hence certainly, the petitioner cannot be the aggrieved person. Therefore, I find that the present writ petition is totally misconceived. Accordingly, the same is dismissed. No costs. The connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
